Original Note:
The term "nanny dog" wasn't used until 2010. Staffordshire Terrier owners may have called their dogs "nursemaid dogs" in the 70s. Pit bulls were bred for bull baiting & dog fighting, becoming family pets in the 1900s. They cause 66% of total recorded dog fatalities. https://trends.google.com/trends/explore?date=2004-03-25%202024-04-25&geo=US&q=%22nanny%20dog%22&hl https://www.dogsbite.org/dog-bite-statistics-fatalities.php https://blog.tryfi.com/are-pitbulls-nanny-dogs/
